the rate will be close to google rate and also incur $5 admin fee?

Closer to fx spot rates. Dunno how is it compared to Google rates. Yes $5 admin fee applies.

I think trust card uses Google spot rates or close to.

Trust card using VISA rate without bank fee... but almost similar to Youtrip... so use whichever card u have... u r not withdrawing 10s of thousands, so difference not big...

From utrip:
FREE ATM withdrawals of up to S$400 per calendar month
We heard you! You can now enjoy free ATM withdrawals of up to S$400 per calendar month (resets first of each month). This means you have more flexibility to withdraw cash overseas without worrying about withdrawal fees.

What if I withdraw more than S$400?
If you happen to be a high-roller and exceed the S$400 monthly limit, we'll sprinkle a mere 2% fee on the extra amount withdrawn thereafter. We promise it won't rain on your parade!

Well if you have a lot of $ in youtrip now, better to withdraw them before 15 June, else the money may be stuck there.
